Mas des Alpilles

The five rooms at Le Mas des Alpilles each accommodate two guests and have air conditioning and a private bathroom. They range from 10 to 26 m². Several rooms overlook the garden, while some also offer views of the mountains or pool. The room names distinguish, among others, a room with a pool view and one with an external private bathroom.

Amenities vary from room to room: some have a bathtub, others a shower, and several include a flat-screen TV or a coffee machine. The 26 m² room combines garden and mountain views with a bathtub and shower. An 18 m² room overlooks the pool and garden and has a coffee machine and minibar. The 10 m² rooms also offer different views, of the mountains or garden.

The outdoor areas include a garden, a sun terrace, outdoor furniture and an al fresco dining area. A picnic area and barbecue also let you enjoy the garden. The outdoor swimming pool has toys, pool or beach towels, a cover and sun loungers. Massages, body treatments and beauty services are among the available treatments.

Yoga and fitness classes, couples’ massages, as well as cooking classes and tours about local culture, add to the options. There is a café on site, with wine and champagne; special-diet menus are available on request. Indoor parking is free and private, with reservation. Internet access is free, and an airport shuttle is among the services.

Maussane-les-Alpilles is a Provençal village in Bouches-du-Rhône, surrounded by the limestone landscape and olive groves of the Alpilles mountain range. The scenery alternates between pine-lined roads, fields and small stone villages. The village suits travellers looking to discover Provence at a relaxed pace, with walks, rural heritage and breaks on a terrace. The surrounding paths are well suited to hiking and cycling.

The Tours de Castillon, medieval remains on a hillside, are 860 m away. The village of Paradou is 2.0 km away, as is Maussane-les-Alpilles, where you will find village shops and services. Les Baux-de-Provence, 4.5 km away, draws visitors with its hilltop castle, old streets and views of the Alpilles. The Musée Yves Brayer adds to the visit with works devoted to Provençal landscapes. Fontvieille railway station is 8 km away. A car makes it easier to travel between the villages and sites in the area.

For a day out, you can spend the morning exploring the streets and castle of Les Baux, then take the small roads back towards Maussane or Paradou for a walk and a Provençal meal. Spring and autumn are pleasant times to walk in the mountain range, with generally milder temperatures than in July and August. In summer, plan walks for early morning or late in the day and leave time for the pool. The local vineyards and olive mills also offer another way to discover local produce.
